Biography
Sidorov Ludvig was a Soviet communist who had survived the Great Purge, but he later grew tired of Joseph Stalin's despotic rule and decided to filter important information to Nazi Germany in the months preceding Operation Barbarossa. On the night of 3 March 1941, he decided to meet some important German officers on the outskirts of Moscow to give them more information, so a Red Army sniper was sent to assassinate him at the meeting without killing any of the Germans, as it would violate the Molotov-Ribbentrop Pact. He was shot in the head as he arrived at the meeting.
